Caroline claims the victory over Navarro 63 63 in a tough and more even match than the figures tell. Well done Caro.:clap

I still predict a come back from Gabi.

God I am good Kiu, is it her first SF in a premier? I think it is.
Nice one Gabi, nice as you Gabi is almost top 20 now (22) without anyone's notice.

 

[Si Si Simona]

This event turned into a nice one with some good matches and beautiful styles in the last stages of the event.
I havent watched tennis live for a while, and the Ana-Lucie match starting in minutes will be good for my head with nice tennis and beautiful players.
Gabi-Wozi will also be a nice match in the SF

 

[Si Si Simona]

haha.. Lucie coach is so cool and Lucie tries to understand and "be there" for him when he speaks
This is nice, He tells Lucie that she must relax and that she plays amazing tennis
Funny and cute

Ana is stunning in that black outfit on full screen 16:9, the best outfit Adidas ever made.

I am not picking these matches!
I will give you the H2H

Ana leads 4-2
Mugu leads 2-0

OK, I'll pick one, The Spaniards will take the doubles crown.

 

[Si Si Simona]

Mugu leads 2-0
OK, I'll pick one, The Spaniards will take the doubles crown.

She will play Simona in Wuhan R2 after she beats flor in R1.
Very tough draw for Simona in Wuhan, in R3 she will play Lisicki/Lucie/Svitolina/Giorgi.
If Simona doesnt come to fight she will be humiliated and it will end in tears.

The Wuhan draw is out, maybe you can make a thread on Wuhan.

[MargaretMcAleer]

My picks are for the s.finals,

Caroline and Ana,it appears that Ana has found some type of form after her early exit at the USO.Her win against Vika and Lucie have given her a confidence booster.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Anyone watching Garbine v Caroline match at all?

Caroline has saved 6BPs so far in this match,it might come back to haunt Garbine later in this 1st set
The longer the rallies go on in this match,it does favour Caroline.
Garbine has to play more controlled aggression on her shots.

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

I am trying to watch but the stream is really bad, keeps freezing.
Very tight 9th game being played in the first set, Mugu keeps missing her chances.
Caro is running everything down, credit to her.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

^ Caroline has saved 10BPs so far in this 1st set
Caroline hit a great bhand down the line in her last service game
Caroline leads 5-4 1st set.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Loose fhand error from Garbine and Caroline has 2 sets points
Garbine netts fhand
Well done Caroline with her first couple of break points in this 1st set converts and wins 6-4

 

[Correspondent Kiu]

Now, this is exactly where Mugu was yesterday, behind a set, but at the end she won it in 3.
Can she do it again, against a more steady player like Caro?
Woz takes first set 6-4
